application ma rem-nary 4, 1927i. semik in. 16am.

My present invention is concerned with neckwear and more especially with four-inhand neckties.

It is an object of the invention to provide a neck tie which can be readily slipped, preparatory to tying, between the nec'kband an the flap of a turnover collar, without undue strain on the necktie, and which will not crumple or become disfigured even after prolonged use.

` As conducive to a clear understanding of the VVinvention, it may be noted, that the usual linings of neck ties, if loosel dis posed, are likely to shift and to crump e and thereb disfigure the tie after a period of use. f such linings are tightly stitched in place, the neckband of the tie is rendered non-resilient and it therefore slips with dilliculty, in a turndown collar and with possible injury to the tie..

Hence, it is another ob]ect to avoid the use of a lining filler or stufling within the tie and to accomplish the advantages recognized as inherent in well-made single ply ties, while economizing in the quantity of the expensive fabric used for such ties, and at thepsame time avoiding the raw and unfinished appearance of the inner face of such ties.

According to the inventionthe neck tie is formed of two plies without an enclosed lining, an outer ply of the usual neck tie material and an inner ply of less expensive fabric. The plies are stitched together completel -about their raw ed es exce t at the neck gI`he en s o f the nd forminghpart. lstitched lies are t en turned inside out to` tie. The neck band forming eart is foldedtogether to conceal the raw ge and loose stitching, preferably a single line thereof, holds the same together.

In the accompanying drawings in which is shown one of the various possible embodistitched together,

ments of the tion,

Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the blanks several features of the inven- 55 Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3 3 of Fig. 2, v Fi 4`is a ggure similar to Fig. 2, showe ends o the blanks turned inside out, ig. 5 is a sectional view taken on line 60 of Fig. 4, Fig. 6 is a plan view showing the tie preparatory to being folded together, and t. Fig. is an innerview of the completed Tlie necktie blank (Fig. 1) forming the outer ply, which for economy of material, may be formed of two lengths, 10 and 11 stitched together along diagonal line 12, has the usual blunted narrower end 13. At the opposite end this blank has a wider wing 14 which preferably represents an integral rectangularextension beyond the diagonal line a-a limiting the otherwise generally triangular conformation of the main blank. An 76 inner ply15 of size and shape preferably lidentical with the outer ply but of less expensive material is shown underneath in ig. 1. This inner ply also may be formed of two segments 15 and 16, vpreferably eo stitched together along a diagonal line'20, preferably intersectingv the diagonal line 12 of the other or outer superposed p1 10-11. The two plies are stitched toget er oompletely about their ends as at 17 and 18 and 86 along their sides, leaving the edges of the intermediate neck band orming portion 19 completely unattached. The hand may readily be passed through the opening between vthe two yplies of the intermediate part 19, 9o

and the' opposite closed bag ends turned inside out so that the raw edge is turned inwardly as appears best from Figs. 4 and 5, so that the seams or stitches 17 and 18 will now be concealed between the plies of the tie o6' as will also the raw edges of the plies, affording a finished edge or seam 17 and 18. To complete the tie, the material is creased along a slightly-curved line 21 (Fig. 6) which extends longitudinally of' the tie from the oblique edge 23 of one end, and4 terminates at 25 at the lateral edge near the opposite end. The fold 26 thus formed, has

a corner 27 folded back along crease 28 so as not to overlap the longitudinal slightly curved crease 29 extending from end to end of the tie. An intermediate' strip or fold 41 longitudinally of the tie, is thus bounded creases 29 and 21. A crease 30 extends b albng a curve the entire length of the tie,

forming 'a corresponding fold 31. The creases 29 and 30 determine the lateral edges of the main panel.40 of the completed tie shown in Fig. 7.

It will be noted that three superposcd layers are provided at the narrower end shown near the upper edge of the drawings comprising the main or central panel 40, the upper end of fold 31 and the upper end of -fold 41. At the opposite end of the tie, the

material is in four layers, as appears clearly from Figs. 6 and 7 comprising the main orcentral panel 40, the correspondingI end of fold 31 at the right edge, and the two superposed folds 41 -and 26 at the left edge.

By the folding set forth the raw unstitched edges at the intermediate part of the correlated blanks are brought to the interior of the tie and concealed therein. Loose stitching, preferably a single line thereof 47, maintains the neck band in assembled relation. The loose stitchis knotted at its ends 47' in manner well understood, to afford slack or lost motion for extension of 'the tie, withoutv stress upon or resistance by the thread.

Where a two ply neck tie is formed of a blank not much greater in width than that of the finished tie, an intermediate filler or liner member is ordinarily required.

veo

Where the two plies are stitched together.

completely about their raw edges, a double seam or welt will be formed within the 'In a single ply tie, much more of the expensive outer fabric is required than by me, since ordinarily the material in such tie is folded to afford no less than seven superposed layers at the wider end.

It will thus be seen that there is herein described an article in which the several features of this vinvention are embodied, and

i l: vwhich 1n service attains the varlous ob]ects of the invention and is well suited to meet the requirements of practical use.

As many changes could be made in the above construction, and many apparently widely different embodiments of this invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Having thus described my inventiom'what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: l

' 1. A neck tie comprising a pair of plies of substantially identical.V dimensions having the bordersv thereof stitched together adjacent their ends only and having-a neck band portion between said stitched arts, the said neck band portion being 'held together in finished folded state by loose stitching.

2. A neck tie comprising 11a pair of superposed'plies of substantially identical dimensions, one forming the exterior and the othei the interior of the tie, the borders `of said plies stitched together' adjacent their ends only and having a lneck bandfportion between said stitched parts, said latter part being `held yin assembled `positionfby loose stitching. J

3. A neck tie vcomprising a pair of plies of substantially identical dimensions, one forming the exterior and the other theinterior of a double ply tie, said plies ystitched together at the borders thereof adjacent their ends only and from beyond the intermediate or ncckband part thereof to'each end, the ends thereof being turned inwardly to conceal the raw edges within the interior thereof, the intermediate part thereof being folded and stitched together to'form a neck band.

4. A neck tie comprising a pair of superposed blanks of. substantially identical dimensions, the borders of said blanks stitched together adjacent their ends only`,'said neck tie having a neck band portion between said.- stitched parts, the correlated blanks being folded the entire length thereof near one longitudinal edge thereof, and being folded near the otherv longitudinal edge thereof' along la line extending from one end to the lateral edge `near the opposite end thereof, whereby the completed tie will have a triple layer of the correlated fabrics at said latter end and a quadruple layer at the opposite end, said ncckband portion being held together in finished folded state by loose stitching.

5. A neck tie comprising a pair of superposed blanks of substantially identical di mensions having their borders stitched together adjacent their ends only and having a neck band portion between said stitched parts, the ends of said correlated blanks being l turned inwardly to conceal the raw edges a. triple layer of the correlated fabrics at said latter end and a. quadru le layer at the opposite end; theneck' ban forming part 10 being held together b loose stitching.
